Carrier Bidding & Auto-Booking

Part of the Logistics

Classifies every new load between direct assignment and auction, notifies your best carriers by email, WhatsApp and voice, and issues the rate confirmation.

Logistics
The context

Booking a carrier takes up to eight hours per load

Every load needs a dispatcher to check availability, negotiate a price and build the rate confirmation by hand. Average time-to-book runs 2 to 8 hours, even though repetitive loads on known lanes represent up to 60% of volume and need no human intervention at all.

The solution

From new load to booked carrier without touching it

Silia evaluates every new load: when the lane is known and the preferred carrier is available, it books directly and issues the rate confirmation. Otherwise it opens an auction with top-scored carriers, captures offers by email, WhatsApp and voice, and picks a winner.

Key capabilities

What the agent does in your operation.

  • Auto or auction routing

    Checks lane, history and preferred-carrier availability to decide in seconds whether a load books directly or enters bidding.

  • Multichannel auction

    Notifies the top carriers for the lane by email, WhatsApp and voice, opens an offer window and captures every reply automatically.

  • Score-based selection

    Weighs offers on a mixed criterion of price, external safety scores and internal service history to pick the winning carrier.

  • Rate confirmation

    Generates the document from your approved template, sends it to the carrier and writes the booking with agreed price to the TMS.
